More about this game
Breathe & Hum Guide is a relaxing experience designed to center your focus. The goal is to match your breath to a glowing orb that expands and contracts. The core loop involves following either a 4-4 or 4-7-8 breathing pattern while the orb shifts from warm gold to cool blue. The ambient hum changes pitch to match your inhales and exhales. A run ends automatically after you complete exactly three full breathing cycles, transitioning to a quiet resting screen.
Tips
- Use the 4-7-8 rhythm if you want a longer exhale and a 7-second holding phase to deepen your relaxation inside the glow.
- You can pause the session at any time by tapping the pause button or clicking anywhere on the background canvas.
- Listen to the ambient hum, which shifts its frequency from a base of 55 hertz to match the breathing phases, helping you stay in rhythm with your eyes closed.
Questions
How long does a session last?
A session lasts for exactly three full breathing cycles based on the rhythm you selected. After the third cycle, the screen transitions to a quiet outro phase.
What is the difference between the rhythms?
The 4-4 rhythm features a 4-second inhale and a 4-second exhale. The 4-7-8 rhythm includes a 4-second inhale, a 7-second hold where you rest inside the glow, and an 8-second exhale.
Can I stop the session early?
Yes, you can tap the reset button in the top right corner to return to the intro screen at any time, resetting your completed cycles back to zero.
